2 gallons? Damn dude. Was this your WIC? Morebeer brand? If so you might want to shoot them an email or something.

B3 5/10 split (50 ft). Yeah, I am going to email them. It is really weird that it did that. The other bad thing is my other IC had some serious issues with connectivity so I guess I will fix that, bring to a boil tomorrow (again) and try to chill. I also have a CFC but that thing needs cleaned so I can't use it till I recirc some caustic through it. Sheesh - what a crappy brew day!!

ndcube: I don't really know how it happened. I did leave it outside and it has gotten down to about 30 degrees a few times so maybe the weather had something to do with it (though that certainly isn't the first time and it has gotten a lot colder before). But I never had it connected to anything, you wouldn't think it would have burst a hole in the tubing. I will get some pics and post it sometime tomorrow if I have time.

Also brewed a non-traditional porter the 23rd. I aquired a bunch of tomahawk and appolo hops for free and I used those along with some cascade, chinook and magnums to kick the hop level way up. Can't wait to taste it. I brewed another porter a little over month ago with the tomahawks and some cascade. I dry hopped it with the tomahawks as well and it's great!

Well, If my lager yeast arrives, I may brew that this weekend. Since my s-23 is tutti fruity and I gotta re-do something.If I do, It will be my 1st journey down the water chemistry path. I was gonna get some water from the Glacier machineat Albertsons, and add 3 gallons or so of my well water for the mineral profile....and then see what I wind up with...http://www.glacierwater.com/
